Charlie Camilleri

Yesterday I attended the standing room only Memorial Celebration for Charlie Camilleri. I met Charlie through Variety Club International, The Children’s Charity where both of us were proud members. Charlie did so much for the kids and Variety Village, even becoming Chief Barker. I learned so much about him I never knew like he played for the Toronto Argos and was their Grey Cup Champion quarter-back in 1946 & 47. He was a Promotion Manager at CBS Records back in the 60’s,70’s and 80’s. A true gentleman and family man. My daughter Patti, son in law Dave and I sat with friends marveling at his wonderful life full of great accomplishments. Friends & family were invited to the podium to share their special memories and pay tribute. His son Ron asked me to say a few words and I was very honored to speak.

Dave Perkins - Toronto Star
"Anyone with a good sense of
Toronto’s history remembers Louis
Jannetta, for nearly 50 years the
Maitre’D at the Royal York’s Imperial
Room.
He tells many stories about
the rich, famous and powerful in his
book King of the Maitre’d’s."
